(I'm not sure on the gender because of her age and morph, but considering she is only lightly pied, I'll assume she's a girl.)
Well, let me be more specific. It goes halfway down when she's eating. She finally came in via United on monday circa 6:20 pm. She's also flighty! I expected that, but she's the most peculiar in behavior out of all the birds I've tamed. For one, she's very interested in what I'm doing, and whistles along with me, and even came out the cage yesterday (walked out by herself and climbed onto the bed!), however she was very upset, screaming, flapping, and biting about when i tried to put her back. i tried to calm her first by putting her on my training perch, but she flew down immediately, and hissed quite a bit throughout the whole encounter. She has barely talked until today, which i thought she would still be PO'd after the struggle yesterday. right now she is whistling a lot! She seems to enjoy my company, though, so I've continued to come back in the room a few times.
I studied cockatiels a lot, but I'm afraid my knowelege is remedial on what's normal, as its been a while since i interacted with one directly. they are rarer than conures in my state and I'm worried i'm doing something wrong, esp. since I've worried I've been messing up somehow. I feel like I might have just lucked out in taming my other bird and previous ones, as my lovebird and conure were adopted from a lovely local breeder who spoils their babies! Should I stop coming in and sitting/laying down until she seems interested in talking to me? Any help would be greatly appreciated!!!
(The cage she is in is the travel cage I keep around, not the full sized cage I have for her. I figured it would be better to train her in.)
